Rainforest - only 10 years late

I bought the Fall 2002 Quiltmaker magazine with a view to making the quilt on the front cover....

It's foundation pieced and embellished with buttons. And the cat likes to help with the photography.

Here is a details of the top left corner

It took 10 years to collect all the fabrics for this quilt. I did make a small part of it in 2002 as a Christening gift, and then borrowed it again for my exhibition in 2003.

I had to decide which blue border to use - the one on the left is the one I chose

Detail of top right. I am going to hang the quilt at the top of my stairs - it actually only just fits - I didn't measure it, so that was lucky! But there's still a long way to go before it is hangable.

About Me

I've been sewing or making things since as long as I can remember. My Grandma and my Mum taught me to do most of the things I know - the rest I taught myself. I've lied a bit about some of my interests - guess which ones.
